DESCRIPTION

In The Dig, an asteroid named "Attila" is headed on a collision course for earth, and Astronaut Boston Low comes out of retirement to plant two nuclear devices on Attila to bring it into a more stable orbit. Along with his crew, Dr. Ludger Brink, an Archaeologist; Maggie Robbins, a newspaperwoman; Ken Borden, the pilot; and Cora Miles, the payload specialist; they manage to plant the two devices and set them off.

It's what they find afterwards that gives them the real trouble. Apparently, Attila is not an asteroid, but a spacecraft, that whisks Low, Brink, and Robbins to an alien planet named Cocytus. Unfortunately, it dissolves upon landing, stranding them there. The three of them must unlock the secrets of the planet to get home again, but that means using the alien technology, and finding more about the aliens that may have built Attila. ~ Lisa Karen Savignano, All Game Guide

“Another fantastic classic game, I don't wanna say much at all about this one, if you haven't yet, buy it off Steam. 5 bucks, you'll thank me.”

“Actually, this WAS the first time I ever played it. When it came out I just never picked it up. Too bad I didn't. Awesome game.”

“Underrated severely. It didn't have the same level of humor that the other Lucasarts Point/Click adventures had so it got the shaft. It had a great story and awesome landscapes of a foreign world. Good puzzles, good times.”

“LucasArts is at it its best when it's being serious. The characters are memorable, and the alien world Cocytus is equally fantastic and believable. It's worth playing just for the exploration.”

“Maggie Robbins, the thinking man's video game hottie. Wow, that doesn't sound right.”

“Completed for the second time and got both endings. Curiously enough, the conclusion that requires more effort is actually the less desirable one - not that it really matters, as it's only one small...”
